Palēnām jāsāk plānot jaunais ceļojums ;)

* New Year's Eve (元旦除夕)

New Year's Eve in Hong Kong is something to check out if you are seeking a carnival experience. Hundreds of thousands of people out on the streets to celebrate the New Year is truly an unforgettable time. There are all-night services on the MTR, night-buses, and of course, many taxis. Fireworks go off on the harbour front, which a lot of people attend to watch on both sides of the harbour: Tsim Sha Tsui (Kowloon side) and Central (Hong Kong Island). The young adults and older adults decide to party with the rest of Hong Kong at the hot-spots such as Causeway Bay, Lan Kwai Fong and Tsim Sha Tsui. Many people dress up and attend private parties and others flock to the streets to enjoy the atmosphere. Police patrol around popular areas to make sure the city is a safe party-zone. Hong Kong people are not great drinkers and most of them stay dry for the night. Drinking alcohol on the street is uncommon. So visitors who drink should moderate their behaviour or risk being screened out by the police as the only drunks in the crowd.

Pirmā doma pēc raksta nosaukuma likās - Kas? Ņujorka Ķīnā?

Bet par Jaunā gada svinībā izklausās jauki. Interesanti ir par alkoholu. Latvijā man liekas, ja kāds jaunietis ir skaidrā Jaungada sagaidīšanā uz ielas un bez pudeles rokās, tad tas jau drīz būs fenomens.

Es nesen pētīju Japānas variantu par šiem svētkiem, tad ir vairākas pozitīvas lietas un vairākas negatīvas - viena no negatīvajām ir, ka ļoti liela daļa mazās bodītes uz šiem svētkiem veras ciet, attiecīgi ja vēlas kaut ko nopirkt, tad jāklīst pa lielveikaliem.

Biki apskaužu Honkongu. Apskatījos šiem pašreiz 31grāds! Cool......
Un ziemā vidēji +15grādi. Super! Pa ziemu pietiek ar plānu Latvijas rudens jaku
